How Can I Check Proxy Settings to Ensure My Connection is Secure? or What's the Best Way to Check Pro

"What's the best way to check proxy status for anonymity and speed?"

Hey guys, just set up a new proxy but wanna make sure it’s actually working lol. How do you *check proxy* settings to see if it’s secure and fast?

I’ve used a couple sites like whatismyipaddress.com, but idk if that’s enough.

Any tools or tricks y’all recommend? Also, how often should I *check proxy* stuff? Monthly? Or only when things feel slow/sketchy?

Thanks in advance!

(ps. if u know a good free tool, pls share. my budget’s tight rn 😅)
